Sage and teal pieces fill the corners of the block, framing the bloom. The finished rose has layered petals and dimensional shape -- the flower reads as an actual rose, not a stylized pinwheel. The cover sample uses Lori Holt's Berry and Sage collection for Riley Blake Designs, but the same block carries very different color stories: soft pinks for a cottage quilt, deep reds for a Valentine, or unexpected pairings like mustard and plum for a moody floral.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's in the Pad\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for the printed foundation paper pad.

Fabric cutting sizes are printed on each foundation sheet, so the buyer can cut as they go.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandard foundation paper piecing supplies make the work go smoothly: a rotary cutter, a paper-piecing ruler such as an Add-a-Quarter, a small pair of scissors, a glue stick or thin appliqué pins, and a sewing machine set to a shorter stitch length around 1.5mm so the paper tears cleanly away from the finished block.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuilters with some foundation paper-piecing experience who want a block with real visual impact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone with a stash of pink, red, and floral prints looking for a project to use them in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrap-busting projects, charm pack collectors, and fat quarter bundle users\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring quilts, Valentine projects, or a single rose pillow or wall hanging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaking the full 65 1\/2\" x 85 1\/2\" Paper Roses Quilt using the free companion pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy You'll Love These Foundations\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePre-printed foundation paper saves the hassle of feeding thin sheets through a home printer and trying to keep the lines crisp. The paper in this pad is lightweight enough to tear cleanly along the stitch line without distorting the seams, and translucent enough that fabric placement can be confirmed from the back of each sheet before sewing. Shaded color guides on each foundation make it easy to see where each fabric goes, which matters when there are this many pieces in one block.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe block builds outward from the center hexagon. The first few wedges look abstract, then a petal emerges, then another, and by the time the background corners go on, the bloom is fully there. It rewards accurate cutting and careful piecing, but minor variations vanish into the scrappy effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 10 inches finished, the block stands on its own as a wall hanging or pillow cover and stitches together cleanly into a full quilt. Lori Holt's Bee in My Bonnet Co. patterns are known for blocks that look like the thing they're named after, and this one delivers an unmistakable, dimensional rose using nothing but conventional foundation piecing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e It's Sew Emma\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem #:\u003c\/strong\u003e ISE-7021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lori Holt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Foundation Paper Piecing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSkill Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intermediate (many small pieces and many seams per block; experience with accurate foundation paper piecing recommended)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTechnique:\u003c\/strong\u003e Foundation Paper Piecing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSheets per Pad:\u003c\/strong\u003e 42\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYields:\u003c\/strong\u003e One block per sheet, 42 blocks total\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinished Block Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10\" square (10 1\/2\" unfinished)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePaper Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13\" square\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompanion Pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Free Paper Roses Quilt Pattern PDF available separately from It's Sew Emma (finished 65 1\/2\" x 85 1\/2\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pre-printed Foundation Paper Pad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade in the United States\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"It's Sew Emma","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48306695569656,"sku":"ISE-7021","price":16.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/0196\/8376\/files\/ISE-7021.jpg?v=1779554928","url":"https:\/\/smartisans.com\/products\/paper-roses-10in-foundation-paper-pad-from-its-sew-emma","provider":"Smartisans","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
